[@Aliczabeth]

Skies are crying, I am watching Catching teardrops in my hands Only silence, as it's ending Like we never had a chance Do you have to make me feel like There's nothing left of me? You can take everything I have You can break everything I am Like I'm made of glass Like I'm made of paper Go on and try to tear me down I will be rising from the ground Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper As the smoke clears, I awaken And untangle you from me Would it make you, feel better To watch me while I bleed? All my windows still are broken But I'm standing on my feet You can take everything I have You can break everything I am Like I'm made of glass Like I'm made of paper Go on and try to tear me down I will be rising from the ground Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper Go run, run, run I'm gonna stay right here, Watch you disappear Yeah-oh, go run, run, run Yeah, it's a long way down But I am closer to the clouds up here You can take everything I have You can break everything I am Like I'm made of glass Like I'm made of paper, oh-oh Go on and try to tear me down I will be rising from the ground Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper (Like a skyscraper) Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper

[@rolandherbert7105]
